Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

Shame Carol. All the best. Hope you don't have to stay in hospital too long x

When Josh used to wake up for feed I either expressed or Josh gets a formula bottle so DH can feed...I found a way for dh to be able to feed.lol.

Now that josh sleeps through...my boobs are so full and sore in morning and my nightie and bra are soaked:(

Oh forgot to add I'm having an op to remove gallbladder this week....so please keep me in your prayers. No idea how this affects me being able to breastfeed...

BTW Vica weighed just over 2kgs on the first facecloth photo, she's now 4,7kg

Yes Simone - regular sized facecloth

Forgot to add about being SAHM (stay at home mom) I also don't expect hubby to get up at night, like Carol said, its not like he can feed Vica! ha ha ha

Evenings DH sees to Dieter - bath and puts him to bed. Evenings Vica cluster feeds and stays in my arms until we go to bed. Now and again we're lucky and I can put her down again and she stays asleep. So strange - no problems putting her down during day time naps - can put her down drowsy and she'll fall asleep on her own. Don't try that after 5pm in the day.......... whoa! She just won't go down.

Amanda is that a regular sized face cloth?? My word...tiny little princess:) bless her she's growing:)

Lumine ag man what a cutie:) yes I am lucky my hubby is so hands on...he works very hard for us, until 9pm 2 nights a week and some saturdays....to still come home and see to Addison and Josh, I'm truly blessed. The other day Josh woke at 4am...and dh sat up with him until he left for work...and let me sleep! I don't ask it of him, that's just how he is. ...he wanted kids more than me I think and he just is hands on. I understand re: u being a housewife though and how u feel:)

Carol oh shame re: shots:( I also cry...hate it!!!

Afu...things are good, besides one wake up at 4am (he'd been asleep for 8hrs already) Josh has been sleeping through until 6-7am! Bliss! Addison is good, loving school and still an awesome big sister;)

Hope u are all well!

Hi ladies!

Only Vision to go! Hope your girl surprised you already!

Lumine-Annie - I get what you are saying about DH making the money. My DH has his own business so he works extra hard. I would never expect him to wake up at night. Its not like he can feed Janroux. Haha. But I do appreciate the little things. Like helping out with bathtime. Sometimes he will make dinner. That already makes it easier for me. Beautiful pic of tallulah she looks so tiny!
Oh and I don't think juandre posted anything on moomie. I saw it on facebook.
Amanda is right you are a great mommy and we forget to give ourself credit sometimes.

Hope all the mommies are getting enough rest. And those with 2 kids PLenty of rest

AFM: We took Janroux for his injections on Friday. It was so sad. That's the loadest he ever cried. And he hardly ever cries. He only cry when he's hungry. He weighs..... Wait for it.... 6.26kg!!!! I need to buy 3-6month clothes. He must be growing a lot in cm becaus I even struggle to close the baby grow between the legs. He is only going for his checkup tomorrow so we will see how long my baby got. We had to go exchange his no2 nappies for no3 naPpies today :o

I struggled a lot with wind this week. But it got better yesterday. He can even burb while lying down now. So things are getting better in that department.

Still tired...mostly, but not as much as a few weeks ago. I wil try and post pic from my bb.

Take care everyone!

What a beautiful smile Tallulah has! I'm still struggling to get a photo of Vica smiling!

Here's a photo of her the day after she came home, lying on her facecloth and a photo taken yesterday, lying on her facecloth. She's grown a little hey?




Lumine-Annie, you're doing a great job, just look at that smile Tallulah gives you! I can so relate with you saying how hard it is when they're a baby. It used to frustrate me with my firstborn when people would tell me: "it will get better". It felt like I was stuck in that newborn phase and that nothing was improving. It felt like my life would never be normal and that I'll never ever sleep again. Now I'm "still" in that phase! ha ha ha Dieter and Vica differ just over 18 months.

I can now safely say that it did get better with Dieter, but then I had Vica, ha ha ha, I'm in a vicious circle.

Vica has been a 'newborn' for months! I mean she's over 4 months old and she's only doing the little smiles now (because she's 8 weeks corrected age).

I always said that I would want my second child once the first one sleeps through. He still doesn't sleep through and my pregnancy with Vica caught us by surprise as it took 3 years to fall pregnant with Dieter. Now I have two kids on nappies and neither talk yet! ha ha ha

Never doubt yourself Lumine-Annie, you are the best mommy Tallulah can have.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your Sunday x
